Schlitterbahn runs first human test on insane new ride

Schlitterbahn water park has conducted its first human trials of the Verrückt, a new ride that stands 168 feet, 7 inches tall and has been dubbed the world’s tallest water slide.

The 17-story slide’s public debut continues to be delayed, but the Kansas City park has released this point-of-view video from the first live human trials, in addition to an unmanned test flight that ended, well … not well.
